[PATCH 2/3] Add disk hotswap support to libata

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch is probably the most contentious one; adding a hotswap framework to libata to allow it to handle disk plugs/unplugs.

The design goals for this framework were as follows:
- easy, stable API.
- simplicity of design and code
- as damn near as we can get to a guarantee that we will NOT panic the kernel if the user does something stupid, an an attempt to guarantee correct behaviour anyways.

To meet these goals, I have many comments. The new API, as far as driver writers see, is two functions 'ata_hotplug_plug' and 'ata_hotplug_unplug'. Respectively, these should be called when a new disk is picked up or removed. This seems like the most logical way to go about this.

The functions use a single shared workqueue to schedule plug and unplug events. In the 'normal case' where a user merely plugs in or unplugs a disk, you can trivially follow the functionality. The edge cases all have to do with these cases: what happens when the user really quickly plugs/unplugs disks, or has pending I/O?

You'll note at a cursory glance that we need to call an ata_bus_reset when plugging in a disk; this means that we have to wait a bit for everything to settle. If the user goes and unplugs the disk on us, we need to immediately take corrective action.

As such, the 'plug' function is a little complicated.

There is also the issue of I/O (or other requests?) pending on a device when we unplug it. Since we do not want to panic the kernel, we need to handle them gracefully. As it stands, the SCSI layer does this for us rather nicely, EXCEPT in the case that we have an outstanding qc on our device, waiting for completion. This is the explanation for the 'if (qc)' checks in various parts of the code to kill these functions.

I must point out that I have NOT tested this on SMP systems, where we can potentially be servicing more than one request from our request queue. Potentially doing a plug/unplug/plug/unplug/etc. kind of action very fast might lead us to running multiple 'plug' and 'unplug' functions simultaneously.

I did NOT want to complicate the libata code by throwing spinlocks around all over the place to protect against this (changing working, existing code), instead, I have wrapped the 'plug' and 'unplug' functions within a mutex. This should ensure no erroneous behaviour, and still service requests in a timely fashion 99% of the time (on UP systems, it actually makes no difference).

There are GRATUITOUS comments put in the code for you to look at to see if my logic is flawed. Have fun!

	* A patch to add a general-purpose hotswap framework to libata.  From
	  the point of view of the driver writer, we only have two new API
	  functions; 'ata_hotplug_plug' and 'ata_hotplug_unplug', which have
	  rather self-explanatory functions.
	* A few misc changes are necessary to properly reset flags which are
	  set by devices when they are present to make sure that new devices
	  (for instance, disks with different max UDMA transfer rates, not using
	  LBA48, etc.) being swapped in do not assume values for the old
	  devices.
	* Gratuitous comments here that can probably be removed, so that anyone
	  looking at this can understand this and poke holes in my logic.
